most tastefully and happily blended. To the south-east the ruins of the
old castle are seen, over the venerable walls of which the mantling ivy
most luxuriantly spreads its never varying foliage, presenting in the
view from the house, an object strikingly beautiful in this most
picturesque and delightful scene, which is terminated by a fine hanging
wood.
=Warren House=, 16.
Webster, Sir Godfrey, 22. (_see Battle Abbey_)
Wellesley, W. Pole Tilney Long, 74. (_see Tilney Hall_)
=Werrington House=, 152, a seat of the Duke of Northumberland. The house
is desirably situated in a well-wooded park, commanding views richly
diversified and expansive. In front of the house are two structures,
intended as architectural ornaments; one is an artificial ruined castle,
and the other a triumphal arch.
=Westbrook House=, 96.
=Westcomb Park=, 1, the seat of W. Foreman, Esq. This is an ancient
manor, and the house commands some fine prospects.
=West Grinsted Park=, 65, the seat of W. Burrell, Esq. The house is a
handsome stone building.
Westmorland, Earl of, 141. (_see Brympton House_)
Weston, J. W. Esq. 26. (_see Sutton Place_)
Whalley Smythe Gardiner, Sir James, 98. (_see Roch Court_)
=Whatcomb House=, 108.
Wheble, James, Esq. 177. (_see Woodley Lodge_)
White, ---- Esq. 85. (_see Amfield House_)
=White House=, 173.
=White Knights=, 177, the seat of the Duke of Marlborough. The house is
a plain white building, situated nearly in the centre of the grounds,
which are divided by an irregular sheet of water into pasture and arable
lands. The borders of this lake are rendered extremely beautiful, the
lawns which slope gently to its margin being adorned with groves of
trees. An avenue of fine elms leads to the gate at the entrance of the
park, from Reading. The grounds are so disposed, as at proper openings
to admit the most enchanting views of the surrounding country, which,
from this spot, is peculiarly interesting. Here nature, improved by the
hand of art, presents a most beautiful specimen of the mixture of the
agreeable with the useful.
=Whiteway=, 117.
Whitworth, Lord, 18. (_see Knowle Park_)
=Wickham Corner=, 97, 213.
=Wilbury Park=, 160, the seat of Sir C. Mallet, Bart. The house is
composed of stone, built in the reign of Queen Ann, comprising a centre
and two wings corresponding. Internal convenience appears to have been
more studied in the construction of this mansion, than external
splendor. It is well screened with wood, forming a striking contrast to
the almost steril downs of Salisbury Plain, of which this demesne once
formed a part; but by human industry and skill, it is now rendered
fertile, covered with luxuriant and flourishing plantations, and replete
with sylvan beauties.
Wilkes, ---- Esq. 55. (_see Rooksnest_)
Willes, ---- Esq. 181. (_see Hungerford Park_)
Willett, ---- Esq. 90. (_see Merley House_)
Wilmot, ---- Esq. 80. (_see Farnborough Place_)
Wilson, Lady Spencer, 1. (_see Charlton House_)
